Why Linux Hosting Makes the Best Sense

As a website grows one of the biggest challenges is finding web hosting that is reliable, dependable, and affordable. There are three things that you want in web hosting and that includes security, reliability, and cost. Linux hosting services definitely offers all three of these very nicely. In fact, when it comes to web hosting services, Linux is the most popular due to the cost, reliability, and security. The main reason Linux server hosting is cheaper is because it is open source, which means it's free.



Types of Linux Web Hosting

There are a few different Linux web hosting plans you can choose from, which one you select will depend on your needs and your budget. The cheapest type of hosting plan with Linux is shared web hosting. This basically means that the Linux server is configured and partitioned into several small partitions and many websites will exist on a single server. This is definitely the best choice if you are just starting an online business. You can learn more about shared Linux hosting here.

Dedicated Linux hosting is another option that can be managed or unmanaged. These are the most expensive options but the benefit is the server only has your website on it and you have all the resources of the server and never have to worry about it slowing down during peek times as can happen on a shared hosting plan. The one decision you will have to make is have it managed or not.

Dedicated Linux Web Hosting – Managed & Unmanaged

When you decide that a dedicated hosting plan is best for your business you have to choose between the data center managing your server or choosing to have complete control over it and making all the configurations. A dedicated managed option is more expensive since someone else is doing the updates and configuration, this is typically the most common type of dedicated hosting. The dedicated unmanaged Linux website hosting requires that you understand the Linux OS and have the capability of configuring it, but it also gives you complete control over it.

Choosing the Linux Website Host

There are many people who fear Linux especially if they have always been Windows users, but there is nothing fear. If you do not have the ability to configure the server, just choose one of the hosting plans that includes it is configured properly by someone else, such as the shared hosting or dedicated managed. Choosing Linux is definitely a great way to save money and have a very reliable server hosting your website. You can visit a web hosting provider to learn more about both of these types of hosting services and find out which is right for you.

WordPress Plugins

What is a WordPress Plugin?

A WP plugin is some code that you add to your website to add more functions to your website. There is a huge selection of them available, many are free, and some cost money. Don’t be alarmed, I know just the mention of “code” is enough to send you running.



Never fear, using plugins is a very simple process, just a few clicks and you are ready to go. Awhile ago, I wrote about seven “must have” plugins . You can read all about how to install them there. You will probably find others you want to use as time goes on, the process is the same.
I have had questions about how to add a set of icons for social media to your website. By that I mean the buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and lots more.  The good news is that there are quite a few plugins that provide an easy solution. One of my personal favorites is “Social Profiles widget”. All you have to do is go into the add new plugins and search for it.

Where Is My Internet Marketing Success?! Have I Failed!?

It Was Supposed To Be Easy!
I’ve been trying to make money online for about 2 years now. Has it been all Ferraris, cocktails and laptops on the beach? Well in a word, NO. In fact I’m starting to feel duped and pretty stupid.

This post is going to be frank and to the point about my unsuccessful attempts to make money online so far. Hopefully you can relate to my situation.



Easy Online Money and Riches? Hell No!
Making money online is a tough beast to tame. There is just so much information out there. Which system should I pick? What product is the best? What should I focus on? Facebook or Adsense or the latest SEO craze? Should I create a product or do affiliate marketing!! Arrgh it drives me nuts!!

I have bought so many internet marketing products I should be a multi-millionaire by now. Well that’s what they sold to me anyway.

What I have just recently realised is that I have information overload! This info overload has stifled my success and ground my internet money making into the ground.

I have been flip flopping. Trying one system then another then another. Hoping to find the “one” system that will work and bring me the success and the money that I have been promised for so long.

I have found there is no missing link, magic pill or push button system to making money online.

This all got too much and I wanted to find out the answers to why I was not succeeding online.  I know of others that have made thousands online in a matter of days and I wanted their strategies and systems. How come they are making the money and I am not!

I will share with you in my next post more about what I found. It will shock and surprise you.

But I want to hear about you. Are you in a similar place? How much success have you got so far? Where do you feel you are stuck?

A start to making money is working with a like minded group!! So if you feel in a similar place please comment below and share this article with as many people as you can. Together we can work this out and make a killing!
